Aetiology:
This occurs following previous nasal trauma or results from asymmetric septal development possibly following birth trauma.
Clinical features:
Presents as unilateral nasal obstruction and less commonly epistaxis. The inferior and middle turbinates on the side opposite the septal deflection often undergo compensatory hypertrophy.
Management:
If symptoms warrant, the septum can be positioned in the midline as in the operations of septoplasty and submucosal resection.
